Current Music: Krzysztof Penderecki "Polymorphia"
† Krzysztof Penderecki's "Polymorphia" is singularly the most evocative music I have ever heard. Upon first hearing this piece (at the age of 13) I was forever altered. Truthfully, nothing ever shook me so far from the prison of mediocrity as this beautiful and dark fantasy for strings. Is there any wonder that Krzysztof Penderecki is hailed as one of the greatest composers of our time, or that he has been selected to write the official thematic music for the 2008 Beijing Olympics? †
